An E30 and Civic are equally as reliable so you're going to be working on them the same amount. Basically none.

E30's also have a lot more comforts then a Civic. You get powersteering, power windows, locks, sometimes leather, a/c, heat, real adjustable seats if you have the sport seats, informative gauges, anything a Civic gets and then some. Where are you living? lolol. E30's also have tons of space and a HUGE trunk.

Have you even seen an E30?

I have worked on bmws more than mazdas. and are the cars I s learned on. and e30s are old. and bmws are always 5 years behind with their interior designs.
they have the basics yes. but all those electronics on the gauge cluster will more than likely not work.

e30s are very small cars and not comfortable at all. and the seats are bad quality and didn't age well. its like sitting in a cardboard.
rwd does have its advantages for repair. but id prefer to repair a civic over a e30. prime example the starter replacement on a e30 is a pain in the ass days work.

and repairing another car will always be cheaper that the e30.

they are good cars but I don't see them as good daily driven cars. they don't hold their age well.
